  (Please recall that I spent 4 years working with KAME before being
hired onto the FreeS/WAN team.  I worked on the NRL and Sun code that
the RFCs that KAME was based upon were based upon.)

  Actually, 26sec and racoon can not do what is proposed.

  You can say, "I want this secure", and you can say "I want to form a
tunnel with FOO", but you can not specify what the identity of the
remote system is supposed to be. 

  The sockopt interface is pretty limited.
